Taker used to be cool and good - but now he's over 50 but looks like 70 and has to cheat and hit people in the junk to have a chance. This writing stinks and it's worse than Flair or Hogan in their twilight days.

Let's go along with kayfabe & say that the timekeeper rang the bell because he saw Taker tap.

HOW?

They were positioned 180 degrees away from the timekeeper & Taker tapped with his right hand, when the timekeeper was to the left. There's legitimately NO way, even if this poo poo was real, that the timekeeper could've seen anything.

So what happened? Did Taker & Lesnar gently caress up & point the wrong way??

I think if this comes up, it'll be about Heyman pointing out the tap

I think that was supposed to be nothing more than a Dusty tribute that they didn't think all the way through. loving weird though and sucks that it had to go down that way.

Paying tribute to Dusty Rhodes by doing a Dusty finish is like paying tribute to Elvis by having a heart attack on the toilet

Oh we're still on the insane "Holly sandbagged him he deserves it" line, as if it would make any sense to assume that Brock Lesnar wouldn't be able to actually lift you up unassisted

No the problem is that it's a finish that relies on a replay to work. They cause the confusion, and then they show you that actually yes he tapped out.

yeah, well also imagine if everyone actually did see the tap the first tiem, there woulda been big pops and a reason for lesnar to let go and the bell ringing might of made more sense. But no we missed yet another move thanks to bad directing.

I mean Paul saying "WE ALL SAW IT" when actually we didnt see poo poo.

Guessing WWE will go with "timekeeper saw Taker tap on the Tron" since a camera was pointed right at it for the replay
